Throttle vs. pedal assist modes for e-bikes: which one is right for you

Throttle or pedal assist has been a topic of debate for many e-bike enthusiasts. At Shuangye, we offer our riders the freedom to dive into the riding experience as they please – whether it’s in the hustle and bustle of the city or the serenity of a lush woodland, our dedication to fostering a connection with nature and the pursuit of freedom is universal.

Our goal in presenting this article is to give you a clearer understanding of the various modes of e-bike assistance so that you can make a more informed decision when making your purchase.

Throttle mode: Easy and efficient
One of the modes offered by Shuangye is Throttle Mode, which allows the rider to cruise easily without having to pedal. This mode is ideal for those with physical limitations or those who just want to enjoy a leisurely ride without putting in too much effort. With just a twist of the throttle, you can easily accelerate and maintain a steady speed, giving you a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Throttle mode also comes in handy when you need an extra boost of power, especially when tackling uphill terrain or overcoming strong headwinds. Instead of struggling to pedal uphill, you can rely on the electric motor to give you the help you need to make your ride more enjoyable and relaxing.

In addition, throttle mode provides better control and agility. Whether you want to slow down your ride to enjoy the scenery or speed up to get to your destination faster, you can easily adjust your speed freely. This mode also proves useful in stop-and-go traffic situations, as you can effortlessly accelerate from a standstill without having to step on the pedals.

It is important to note that throttle mode should be used responsibly and in compliance with local regulations. Certain areas may have restrictions on the use of throttle-assisted e-bikes, so it’s vital to familiarise yourself with the rules and regulations in your area.

In summary, the throttle mode offered on Shuangye e-bikes provides a convenient and enjoyable riding experience. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely ride or need that extra boost, this mode allows you to ride with ease and enjoy your e-bike journey to the fullest. So why not embrace the freedom and convenience that e-bikes offer?

Throttle mode is similar to the way a motorbike or scooter operates; you can twist the throttle to get that extra push.

In throttle mode, the Shuangye Zebra can reach speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. Not only does it get you around faster, it also gives you a sense of inner security. If you’re an adventurer looking for speed and safety at the same time, the Hemiway is the perfect companion for your life in the wilderness.

If you have ever ridden a motorbike or scooter, then using the throttle will not be difficult for you. Whether you pedal or not, you can enable the e-bike’s throttle mode to propel the bike forward, which can be helpful when you’re feeling extremely lazy but still want the satisfaction of escaping the city. Here are the different types of throttles:

Half-Grip Twist Throttle
A half-twist throttle works similarly to a regular throttle on a motorbike. Slide it over the handlebars, tighten it, and twist it by hand. There you go – a high-speed thrill.

At the same time, Shuangye riders are kinder to the natural environment than motorbike riders; we don’t make a noticeable noise. The combination of fat tyres and throttles excites all gamers, and we never get old in this game.

The Thumb Twist is a smaller option. A small lever protrudes and you can press it with your thumb to activate the throttle.

Pedal Assist Mode
Pedal mode provides power only when you press the pedal. When I worked in London, most of my friends were obsessed with cycling to work. The London Underground was never friendly to these dressed-up elites. I thought at the time that an e-bike would be perfect for them. I was even more certain of this until one friend suffered a knee injury from a long daily ride.

Pedal Assist Levels
The Shuangye has five pedal assist settings ranging from 1 to 5. To make it easier to understand, pedal assist is an operating mode on an e-bike designed to switch on the e-bike motor to help you pedal. When you operate the bike in Pedal Assist mode, you can change the setting to make it work best for you.

– The high pedal setting (L4/5) is very helpful for those who want to get somewhere faster with minimal effort. It’s great for those who want to stay energised and don’t want to sweat too much at work.

– The low pedal setting (L1/2) is a popular choice for Hemiway users after work. It’s best used on the way home from work to reduce stress throughout the day. Plus, it’s fun to enjoy a long ride without worrying about knee injuries!

Customise your speed changes
If you want a smoother start, Shuangye can provide you with customisable settings from 1 to 5 for your pedal assist settings, tailored to your riding preferences

Different types of pedal assist
Speed Sensor

The motor’s assist adjusts to your speed. Speed sensors allow you to accurately track your current speed and level of support. At Shuangye, we use these speed sensors to enhance your pedal assist experience.

Torque Sensors

Torque sensors adjust the motor based on how hard you press the pedal. It essentially amplifies any force you apply to the pedal.

How does it work?
It’s very simple – Pedal Assist only supports you when you’re pedalling aggressively. Simply step on the pedals to activate it and you’re ready to go.

Pedal-assisted e-bikes

The choice of e-bike usually depends on your preference between throttle mode and pedal assist mode. Both systems offer different advantages for different riding intentions.

The choice of e-bike usually depends on your preference between throttle mode and pedal assist mode. Both systems offer different advantages for different riding intentions.

Throttle Mode: If you are using an e-bike for physical reasons that make a conventional bike inconvenient or unsafe, then throttle mode is an excellent choice. With this setting, you can enjoy riding without having to continuously pedal – letting the motor do the work.
Pedal Assist Mode: If you’re looking for an e-bike experience that’s both transport and exercise, Pedal Assist Mode is the perfect choice. It provides motor support proportional to your pedalling effort, so you can exercise your muscles while enjoying the ride.
